The Bedouins have experienced years of war, and the military organization has its own uniqueness, but there is no silence at night, the neighing of war horses and camels, the loud talking and shouting of people, and the noisy noise like a swarm of bees has reached the ears of Yao Chong and others.

The innumerable cavalry, the endless flow of torches for twenty miles, and the continuous flow from the corner, everything is clear, no wonder the Takuisi slaughtered camels in the middle of the night, so many armies, these are not even enough for them to eat.

Where are there so many Arabs, aren't all the Omani and Yemeni soldiers fighting against Damin in Basra?

"How is this possible?"

Frightened, his mouth grew up, and even showed his back molars, the former battalion captain Cui Parker screamed in disbelief, and his voice finally pulled the equally shocked Yao Chong back to reality.

After thinking for a moment, Yao Chong's face was gloomy as water, but he shook his head helplessly.

"Nothing is impossible, in the last war, Yemen also sent 220,000 troops, and most of the urban strongholds of my Great Min in Mesopotamia were conquered by them, this time, the Abbasid court, which represents the divine power, was shattered, and I originally thought that no one in West Asia could have such appeal, it seems that those adults in the temple have misestimated it."

"So what do we do now?"

"What else can I do, more than a hundred people to fight his more than 100,000 Arab barbarians?" Snorted angrily, Yao Chong directly waved his hand and ordered: "Put away your weapons, let's retreat!"

"Then, what about Song Duwei and them?"

didn't go to it immediately, the originally black cheeks were white and bloodless for a while, and Cui Parker asked again in a daze.

This sentence made Yao Chong tremble.

Raising the binoculars, the Takuisi in the distance had already made contact with the sudden Arab reinforcements, the mighty Bedouin front army was entering the barracks, and on both sides of the riverbank, countless scout cavalry also rushed up the river embankment with torches, shouting fiercely.

Both sides of the river suddenly became dangerous.

If you can't expose yourself, you can't use it as a fire, but at this time, you can delay the time to remind you, in case you encounter the Arab reconnaissance cavalry, you will definitely look back at the fifty or so government soldiers behind you, everyone is frightened and timid under the faint moonlight, and Yao Chong's hands are also trembling.

After a few seconds of deathly silence, the hustle and bustle nearby was getting closer and closer, gritting his teeth fiercely, his lips were bloodless, and the courage in his chest rushed to his throat several times, and finally, Yao Chong waved his hand tiredly in the roar of his ears.

"My brother is alert, he will find the danger, let's withdraw first, don't drag down the captain!"

Not everyone has the courage to die, Yao Chongshang said so, after all, no one of the fifty or so Confucian soldiers objected, hurriedly packed up the repeating pistols and steel crossbows that had been laid out with great difficulty, and retreated back into the night in a hurry.

Xinhe Fort, the swaying tower lights in the night like the white candle flame at the funeral, flickering and dimming seem to be extinguished at any time, around the candle flame, Yao Chong is also irritable back and forth, it has been more than half an hour since he came back, and Song Jing's team has never been seen.

A strong sense of remorse lingered in Yao Chong's heart.

More and more unable to bear the impetuosity in his chest, finally, grabbing the side-by-side knife, Yao Chong hurriedly walked down the tower again.

Fortunately, when he just rushed to the gate of the tower, the noisy noise outside came, and Song Jing came back.

"Let it all go, let it go!" In the anxious roar, under the lighting of a row of torches, Song Jing, who was sweating profusely, rushed in with Li Ming in his arms, and it was obvious that the blood was flowing down the arrow shaft on Li Ming's shoulder, and he was surprised to the door, seeing this scene, Yao Chong's eyes were red.

"Bastard, how do you take care of her, you're still a man!" roaring, Yao Chong rushed forward like thunder, grabbed Yao Chong's collar and shouted.

Who knows, Song Jing's anger seemed to be greater than him, and he kicked it directly.

"Get out of the way!"

Staggered back a few steps, Yao Chongyi sat on the ground, watching Song Jing rush into the tower with Li Ming in his arms, his face turned a little paler, Song Jing was angry like a lion's hideous face, blood red eyes full of disgust, pierced his heart like a nail.

There was also a chaotic quarrel inside, it seemed that the military doctor had been driven out, Song Jing and Li Ming's delicate little soldiers, who were almost inseparable on weekdays, argued a few words, and finally pushed the rest of the soldiers who were also full of anxiety came out, the smell of alcohol was mixed with a trace of blood, listening to the chaotic symphony, Yao Chong sat at the door with blank eyes.

After a while, the voice of surprise came out.

"The bleeding has stopped!"

In the cheers, Song Jing, who was covered in blood, finally came out tiredly, glanced at Yao Chong who was sitting in the stall, shook two steps, and he also sat next to Yao Chong, but shook his head apologetically.

"Don't blame me, I was in such a hurry just now!"

"You're right, blame me, not like a man, like a girl, Brother Li said that you must have returned, I don't believe it, I want to take a look, but I was shot by Hu Bing in the grass, and I didn't dare to come out for a long time, blame me."

Song Jing also hung his head with remorse, listening to Yao Chong's heart, but it made his heart beat a few times, and the guilt almost made him breathless, so he held up so that the face that wanted to cry continued to remain expressionless, and after a while, Yao Chongcai shifted his emotions and jumped to the topic.

"How else is the battle going to be fought?"

This is a heavy and realistic question, and after being silent for a long time, Song Jing shook his head depressedly.

"I don't know."

There are tens of thousands of Bedouin cavalry troops I saw tonight alone, and I don't know how many I didn't see, but I only had 2,000 in my hands, and most of them were infantry, saying that it was the first-class standing army of the empire, and they also knew what the combat level of their own army was.

actually took out half a bag of tobacco leaves from his pocket, and after rolling them into an irregular roll with rice paper, Song Jing lit one end with a flint and flint dullly, and finally put it in his mouth, and handed the tobacco leaves to Yao Chong on the side.

On weekdays, he is not interested in the tobacco of the imperial court, but at this time, there is no wine, and it seems that this thing can relieve the chaotic mood a little, and after a dull moment, Yao Chong also followed Song Jing's example and rolled a cigarette evenly and lit it with a flint.

Some people can feel great enjoyment with the first puff of cigarettes, but more people feel a painful torture, Yao Chong obviously belongs to the latter, he was choked and coughed, and tears choked out, but after spitting out a puff of thick fog, Yao Chong still stuffed the cigarette into his mouth again.

Smoke rings flew out, and under the stimulation of nicotine, the tired brain could also be regarded as excited and happy, and unconsciously, Yao Chong also fell in love with this feeling.

Accompanied him to smoke sullenly for a while, until the tobacco leaves were hot, Song Jingfang threw the cigarette butt aside with some nostalgia, stepped on his foot and pinched his chin and thought for a while, before shaking his head suspiciously.

"What the hell is this Arab thinking? Retake the territory of the Shatt al-Arab? Then there is no need to mobilize so many cavalry. If it is the back road of outflanking my Damin army, he should continue to go south, hehe, I really don't understand. ”

The Arabs' hand is indeed a bit strange, although the city of Qom is the farthest south on the border of the Great Min, but it is still three or four days away from Basra, the most important thing is to outflank the encirclement, the most important thing is that the soldiers will be fast, three days, it is enough to retreat the Fujian army slightly inferior to the Arabs to retreat back to the rugged Zagros Mountains.

There is no rich output in this area, and there are some merchants in Qom City recently, but their wealth is not enough for hundreds of thousands of Bedouin iron horsemen, no matter how you look at it, it seems that the gains outweigh the losses.

At this time, he also smoked the last cigarette, and even smoked it shorter than Song Jing, and flew out of the cigarette butt into a spark very chicly, but Yao Chong shook his head calmly at this time.

"No, after Qom City, there is a fortune enough for hundreds of thousands of Arabs to risk it and go crazy for it."

"What are you kidding, there is a mountain behind us in addition to the rocks, and there is ......"

A rebuttal that should be deserved, just stopped abruptly halfway through speaking, and in an instant, Song Jing's blood that had finally recovered turned pale again, and he screamed out loud.

"What they want is my Da Min military salary!"

In order to crusade against Arabia, for revenge, in order to realize his ideals, and in order to leave a safe environment for his children and grandchildren, Li Jie has been accumulating all the time for several years. The rich and fertile North India, the vast and uninhabited large agricultural production area of Southeast Asia, coupled with the industrial and commercial trade zone formed in the area of Beijing, the weapons, armor, and military cloth are stacked like a mountain, and after hundreds of thousands of people have carried them, from Shiraz to the dangerous mountain pass, the accumulated materials are indeed enough to make any country in the world blush.

Even Chang'an's Gaozong Li Zhi is no exception

At this time, it was really the best time, the Fujian army guarding the mountain defense was almost all dispatched, the Zagros Mountains were extremely empty, in order to plunder the city of Shiraz, Saladin did not hesitate to lurk in the mountains to launch a second attack, losing tens of thousands of people, such a sum of materials, it is indeed possible to attract him crazy fat.

The chaos in West Asia lies in the lack of materials due to years of war, with the materials of Great Fujian, even one-third, Song Jing can imagine how huge the power of Saladin can be expanded, and at that time, the western front of Great Fujian is really no longer peaceful.

"Come on, prepare the horse, immediately inform General Li Yexu to return to defense, Lao Cui, release the carrier pigeon, hide the materials in the dangerous mountain pass, and never let these fall into the hands of the Hu people!" Jumping up like a ball, Song Jing shouted anxiously.

After tasting the last puff of smoke, he staggered to his feet, but Yao Chong grabbed his shoulder violently.

"It's too late, everything has to rely on us, on ourselves!"
